Author Insight

When Taylor and Emily first met.

So today's book bubble looks at the time when Taylor and Emily first met. This is my kind of humour and I don't know if anyone else finds this scene funny, but every time I read this scene, I can't help but laugh.

Book Excerpt

The Connexion Trilogy #1: JURY

“Give me all your money.”

Emily chuckled. “I don’t have any more money. I just spent everything in the mall when I went shopping not too long ago.”

“What did you buy?”

“Tampons, tissues, facial cleansers. Female stuff.” Emily pushed the bag containing the things she had bought out to the man. “Want them?”

“Of course not.” The man said. He gave Emily a once over and then looked her from head to toe again, licking his lips.

Emily rolled her eyes. “You’re that type of guy.”

“What type of guy?”

“The type to regard women as mere pleasure objects.”

“Isn’t that what you all are?” The man smiled.

“I won’t grace that with an answer.”

“That is a big gun you have got there, mister.” A voice said with mock excitement from behind the man.

“Who the fuck are you?” The man turned to face the newcomer, the gun still pointed at Emily.

“A knight in shining armour it would appear.” The guy leaned to the right and waved at Emily. “Hello there damsel in distress, The name is Taylor. You are?”

Emily rolled her eyes and smiled. She noticed the British accent he used was false but she liked it anyway. She was happy he had turned his attention to the man or he would have noticed that she was blushing.

“You should walk away, little boy. ” The man said.

“I cannot do that, big sir.”

“You got jokes.” The man laughed.

“Your sense of humour must be below ground if you found that funny.” Taylor shrugged.

The man was clearly not a fan of being insulted. He thumbed the hammer of the gun and levelled it at Emily’s forehead. “Well, I’m losing my patience so get to stepping.”

“Do what he said. It’s not like you’re strong enough to do anything either way.” Emily said.

Taylor chuckled. “Alright sir. You are free to do whatever it is you want.” He brought out his phone. “I can also help you film the whole thing. You know, make you famous on the internet.”

“Just leave.” The man said.

“Alright.” Taylor started walking away.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Emily could not believe that Taylor had just done that.

Taylor stopped and looked at her. “What?! You said to do what he said.”

“I wasn’t expecting you to actually listen to me.”

“Well, next time, expect it and if I am to help you now, you have to apologize.”

“Not going to happen.”

“Okay, I will just leave you two to it.”

“Wait. Are you really going to leave me here if I don’t apologize?” Emily asked.
